§ Mr. Trotterasked the Secretary of State for Defence to which yards the work at present carried out at the Royal Naval Aircraft Yard at Wroughton will be transferred; and how many staff will be saved.
§ Mr. JuddThe work on the repair and maintenance of helicopters which is at present carried out at Wroughton will be transferred to the Royal Naval Aircraft Yard at Fleetlands, where the work can be absorbed within the available facilities and with a relatively small addition of staff. Details of the transfer, and the arrangements for storage of the helicopters, are still being worked out, but it is our aim to achieve a net saving of about 200 staff, by 1st April 1979.
